I don’t really love to find these little critters in my garden, but I’ll make an exception for these colorful paper snails. With a few basic supplies, and a little coiling technique, you can make a whole family of snails in no time. Fun fact: a group of snails is called a rout or a walk.
Coiled Paper Snails
Supplies for Coiled Paper Snails:
Strips of colored construction paper (ours are 1.5″x12″)
Stapler, glue, or tape
Coloring materials (markers, pastels, crayons, etc.)
Small hole punch
Pipe cleaners, cut into 3″ pieces
Pencils
Green construction paper for leaves (optional)
Supplies for coiled paper snailsStart by making the snail’s head. Fold a small piece of the paper strip under and secure it in place with stapler, glue, or tape. This will create a small loop for the snail’s head.
Time to decorate your snail’s shell! You can color the top of the paper (inside of the shell), as well as the bottom of the paper strip (outside of the shell). Make your snail as colorful as you like!
Coloring paper for coiled snails
Once your snail is all decorated, you can start coiling the paper into a shell. With the snail right-side-up, lay a pencil on top of the paper strip and roll the paper around it.
Coiling paper around a pencil
Pull the pencil out and adjust your coil as tight or loose as you like. Now your snail has a fancy spiral shell!
Rainbow paper snail
The finishing touch for your snail is a pair of tentacles. Punch two small holes in the top of the head loop. Thread a piece of pipe cleaner, about 3″ long, down and up through the holes. Adjust and curl the pipe cleaner tentacles. What a cute little pet snail that you won’t mind creeping around your plants!
Coiled paper snail craft for kids
As you can see, my girls decided to make some leaves for their snails to crawl and nibble on. They also used skinny strips of paper to make some tiny baby snails. So cute!
